Anita was a wonderful lady. Always happy, she loved to share the news of her beloved grandchildren and her chats with Jax. I’m sure she will guide you all from above forever. May her soul rest in peace.
For Anita, with love from Nicole, Dwayne, Ollie and Josh
Anita was courageous. She stood her ground, spoke her mind, and fiercely protected the people she loved. One of the things I admired most was how she always looked out for my gran and would never allow anyone to take advantage of her.
Alongside that strength was immense kindness and generosity. Anita never arrived empty-handed. Whether it was Daim chocolates or another treat, she always found ways to make people feel special.
She became a regular guest at our lunch and dinner table, and those visits are some of our favourite memories. And if there was one thing you could always count on, it was Anita’s very generous hand with salt. It’s one of those little things that was uniquely her, and now it’s one of the memories that makes us smile.
Anita built a wonderful life for herself. She was independent, hardworking, loved her job at Flower Boss, and was popular amongst the customers.
But above all else, she loved her family. She adored Jacqui, was incredibly proud of her grandchildren and Barry, and treasured the time she spent with them during her trips to Australia.
She also shared a special bond with our son, Oliver. Being the same age as Gabby, he often reminded Anita of her, and that connection was very special to watch.
A week before Anita went into hospital, we spent a Sunday together with her and Gran, sharing wine, & snacks. As we were leaving, I said, “Don’t make plans next week, you’re coming to me for lunch.”
That lunch never happened.
But grief has taught me that we don’t measure a relationship by the moments we didn’t get. We measure it by all the moments we did. And Anita gave us so many wonderful moments.
Anita’s final hours will stay with me forever. She heard Jacqui’s voice,she heard our prayers, and a tear fell from her eye. I truly believe she knew how deeply she was loved.
Anita, You will be deeply missed,lovingly remembered, and forever in our hearts.
Rest peacefully ❤️
Ah my dear friend. Went into the shop today to see if you were back. What a terrible shock. What a special person you were. We talked family and flowers and laughed a lot. I am going to miss you more than you’ll ever know. I knew your beautiful grand girls from all the calls. Rest in peace and knows how much you were loved. Your friend Lynne and family Daniel, Collette, Geordie and Nikki.
The journey does not end here. Love continues in the stories we tell and the memories we keep. You will always be remembered by the ones you left behind.
My darling best friend, I will miss you forever and ever. A friendship that lasted longer than forty years and spent time together at least twice a week and loved it. No hard words ever spoken and always watched rugby together .
My heart is broken.
I will always love you and miss you dearest Anita 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️💐💐
Our beautiful Nita was an absolute blessing in our lives. The lunches & visits with her was always a laugh, especially with her spider web comments.
Trying to give her directions to reverse her Golf GTi out our driveway took almost an hour with lots of laughs and her favorite “naughty word”.
Her visits were never ever empty handed. If it wasn’t flowers for me, it was Toblerone chocolate or pasteis de nata for the both of us.
She would always share funny stories of her beautiful granddaughters, Gabriella with her spy tactics and Sophia as the quiet lil one which we always enjoyed.
Our beautiful Nita’s physical presence will be missed dearly but her vibrant spirit will be with us for ever..!
We love you Nita, forever in our hearts!!
Sincere condolences to my beautiful friend Jacs, Barry, Gabriella and Sophia. Donavan and Vanessa
Anita – You have been the most amazing friend and confident to me and the Escorcio family. We will always cherish your laughter, kindness and all the fun moments we enjoyed together.
RIP and may your faith guide to alongside our Heavenly Father.
You will remain forever in our hearts.
Anabela Kenny and Escorcio family
Where to begin to share the treasured moments i have with you Anita. A ray of sunshine as soon as I walked into shop! Full of joy, compliments and care for my health.
Always checking on my family’s well being including my parents living in Madeira. When they both passed you took the time to write a beautiful condolence cards and you constantly checked that I was ok.
The day I took you to the hospital I never thought that was going to be the outcome. During your time in ICU you put on a brave face and showed so much courage and optimism. You did this mainly because you wanted to live so you could listen to Jaqui’s voice over the phone. Despite being uncomfortable you never stopped talking about your dearest Jacqui her precious daughter. Oh how she loves you. Her granddaughters. Gabriella and Sofia I never met them but I knew everything about them as she was so doting and proud of her little girls. She spoke so fondly of Barry.
We watched you settle and grow in Australia through her proud eyes
Anita is leaving a big void in Flower Boss family. She will always be missed with fond memories.
I will miss her so much! She will continue to live in our memories and her favourite roses will always be on display at her counter.
Sending Jacqui, Barry, Gabriella and Sophia a big hug and our thoughts are always with you. ❤️
To my dear Aunty,
Thank you for filling my life with love, laughter, and memories that I will carry in my heart forever. Your warmth made every moment brighter, and your smile could light up any room. Though I will miss you deeply, I will always remember the joy you brought into my life.
With all my love, forever!
Fly high with the Angels and may your soul rest in eternal peace.

Aunty Nits… I miss you soo much, you were the most special friend and 2nd mom a girl could wish for!
From our random coffee dates, a pop into the shop just to say Hi or family lunches spending time together. It was always a pleasure to spend time with you!
The love you gave me from when I first met you as a little girl until the very end has been unconditional and I appreciate you being my 2nd mom. You took me with open arms and loved me as your own, even at times when I was full of shit, you were there for me and told me that I wasn’t too old for a smack on the bum.
You had a precious heart full of love and care and never asked for anything in return. We loved spoiling you and will miss you forever!
May your soul rest easy and the Angels wrap you in their wings.
Love you lots and lots!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛
Madrinha Anita Gois,
This last month has been very difficult… 💔😭💫💕
I have find myself playing Marco Paulo’s song “Anita” playing on repeat, even though I hadn’t played his songs repeatedly since my mommy passed away, but this last month it just makes me feel closer to you both.
On the 17th September I woke up to the sad news of your departure. I couldn’t believe that my Beautiful Madrinha was no longer amongst us. 🪽💔
While Marc comforted my tears he asked me: “When was the last time you saw your Madrinha?”. To which without hesitation I simply said: “More than 30 years (1991), but I did not have to see my Madrinha to feel her love! As all these years she lived in my heart.” 💕 So Marc continued to say: “So that is exactly where you should keep her now as well.” He is absolutely right, but it still hurts like crazy. 🥹😭
I didn’t have to see you, because the unconditional love you gave me in my childhood accompanied me throughout all these years, even though we were miles apart. 💕👩👦
As I also told you a while back, despite all these years apart, I have never ever forgotten you (nor shall I). I remember your laugh, your perfume, those thin cigarettes (Vogue) you used to smoke, your “passion” for Julio Iglesias and how you would just spoilt me when I spent the school holidays at your house. 😁🤗
THANK YOU for being you and for giving me YOUR BEST, being the BEST MADRINHA that one could ever wish for! 💜💞🙏🏻🍀🪷💕🫂
Please keep looking down on us, Madrinha! My shining star! 💫🌟
Give a big hug to my mommy & daddy for me, to our Dearest Tia Fernanda (your Special Mom, of whom I also have very fond memories of and also lives in my heart) and to all other loved ones. 💞💫😁🤗
May you now RIP. Until we meet again, My BEAUTIFUL ANGEL ANITA! You will be forever missed. 💕🫂🪽
Sending much love and strength in these difficult times, to our beautiful Jacqui, Barry, Gabriella and Sophia. She loved you all so very very much and is now where she wants to be.💫💕🫂🪽
A beautiful celebration of a wonderful person! I see and hear Anita in you Jacqui, your beautiful daughters, your husband and family. My goodness she is proud of you!
May we all be reminded to live with kindness, love and grace as she did everyday.
RIP Anita, you are so missed ❤️
So much love and light you brought to others and now it is your turn to shine forever in the stars. Those photos truly showed your infectious personality, now you get to enjoy a whiskey with my beautiful mother in law as well as those that went before you. Keep shining bright Nita
No words can express the shock of losing you Mommy…. 25 years of joy, laughter,endless love💔💔💔💔 But your departure never send me a signal… You will be solley missed.
Rest in peace and be a good angel to your only daughter Jackie…. Always love you, sue
Our family business has lost a piece of its heart, and we are feeling an immense void. Anita was not only a brilliant master of her craft at Flower Boss, but she was also a deeply valued family member and an incredible friend to all her colleagues.
When we shared the news of her passing, our shop was completely flooded with customers coming in to share their condolences. The outpouring of beautiful messages was a testament to how deeply she was loved. Even to this day, customers continue to walk through our doors to honor her memory. We are faced with a constant, beautiful reminder of just how profoundly she is missed by this community.
Her contribution to Flower Boss was invaluable, and our family and business will never be the same without her. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth and excellence that we will carry forward forever.
With all our love and deepest sorrow,
The Flower Boss Family
Eddy, Alexandra, Mavis, Jeanette, Sibo, Tsidi, Mercy, Elvis, Armitage, Reuben, Tyson, Onicca, Silvana, and Alicia
Anita queremos guardar você em nossos corações para sempre.Leve o nosso amor para a casa do Pai onde agora repousas na Paz com todos os teus queridos .
Como você tu dizias somos como irmãs.
Jamais te esquecemos te amamos
It was a beautiful day so fitting to a beautiful memorial for a beautiful lady. Jacqui, Barry, Gabi and Sophia — Anita would be so proud. We were very honoured to have been a part of it. Thank you for having us. Anita, we feel so blessed to have known you and to have shared so much fun and laughter — those are truly precious moments spent with you that we will always treasure. Thank you for making us feel so special whenever we were together. And even from afar you are always thoughtful of Lilla and we felt your presence. It breaks our hearts knowing you’re no longer here with us and will no longer hear your laughter, and will no longer see your name reacting to Lilla’s stories… but the love and memories you’ve left behind will always stay with us. You will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will always remember you with love. Rest peacefully, Anita.
What a beautiful memorial to say farewell to an incredible human. To Jacs, Barry and Family – Nita will always hold a very dear and special place in our hearts, and until we meet again, she will remain forever in our hearts. Our love and strength to you all through this difficult time, she is right there with you!!! All our love, Ang and Wayne
Forever in our hearts Anita. The most beautiful send off for your mom Jacs. May her soul rest in peace.
